Haters gonna hate.
Yes, I realize it's not a Lexus. I'm here because I want to get into a GS next year 
17x9 ET17, 17x10.5 ET29 (after spacers due to inner clearance issues).
I finished putting together a front and a rear today.
Here's the bucket (on the old 8.5/9.5 set up):

Hate it!!! Terrible!!! What were you thinking?? LOL!! Well you did open the floor for this discussion. The GTI on /classic BBS looks good. As poster above stated, many of us here are fans of really clean wheel fitment as well as car lovers in general; regardless of the brand. Looks good.

Staggered on FWD is simple. Most cars have a narrower track in the rear and/or wide fenders, and it needs to be filled up somehow. Spacers don't make up for the lack of width
The value of the wheels with the effort I put into it is worth about what I owe on the car, but not worth anywhere near the actual value of the car itself.

The look is great, IMO. I usually view staggered as jiving with where the power is put down (rear wheels for RWD). But I've seen many AWD SUV's and cars that I like with staggered setups
In the world of mod cars, (which many dabble in here too), we generally expect no increase in resale value as a result of mods, and usually expect it to hurt value. In fact many of us are prepared to return our cars back to a complete stock setup when time comes to sell.
